Default My HiCy update!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to update you...

I am day 11 post-chemo and today I was discharged from the outpatient part of the treatment... Tomorrow (Friday), they remove the catheter (hickman line) and I fly home on Saturday morning.

This process of HiCy has been really smooth for me. I think this is slightly atypical - though even those who have gotten sick and had some problems end up doing just fine as well. However, I still am in shock that I actually had chemo. It seems so unreal that I wasn't sick for a day - and yet, I had 4 days of inpatient high dose chemo. Weird. My hair is (finally) starting to fall out (when I run my hands through it, it comes out in small bits). I am sure any morning now, I will wake up and big clumps will be coming out.

Anyhow, just wanted to let everyone know how it went.

Now I wait and see how the MS (and I) respond.
